Mediwatch-A Synopsis:
Mediwatch was established in 1996 and has developed a range of specialist
medical equipment for the diagnosis of urological disorders.The group joined the
AIM in 2000 through a reverse into Prostcare plc,which at the time was valued at
8m.While the vast majority of sales were generated in the UK,there was a
substantial indirect export business involving a number of agents,supplying into
Europe,North America,Australasia and Asia,notably Japan.
Group revenues are set to increase rapidly following the acquisition of the former
Medtronic Urodynamis Division,which has introduced a fundamental presence in
North America.The deal was in 2006 with the sales division building from 2007.
With the inclusion of the Medtronic systems now owned by Mediwatch they now
can offer a 'One Stop Shop' for the diagnosis of various urology disorders with the
benefit of Mediwatch systems having the ability to electronically send data from the
various tests to a central data base!Oh and plus the added bonus of PSAwatch and
now PCA3plus!

More than 30 million PSA tests are performed annually in the USA alone!

FUTURE EVENTS AND LATEST
NEWS

Just for the record and to even things up,this is Treblewide's view (near end
of 2008):

"in short 3p by chrimbo and a real chance if they do not get rid of management they
will go into receivership.....when they bough the MDT business I said at the time it
must have been a bag of shite as they only paid buttons for it.......looks like that was
fairly correct......i feel sorry for shareholders"

Treblewide has been filtered from my eyes for his abuse,lies and general behavior but
it's a free country (I think) so do as you see fit.

interesting stuff from that article...very few men die from prosate cancer and it is not an agressive disease....treatment can be worse than the disease.......kind of suggests their whole business model is based on sand to me.......but hey who wants a balanced view.

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 00:31 - 76 of 1754
exercise and sex may cause a raised PSA...so you guys may have stumbled on a test for fit shaggers :-)

I am gonna name Me-Di-Watch

Gonna-go-bust-soon-iwatch

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 10:59 - 85 of 1754
minder...i do not make light of prosate cancer....show me one post where I do...i make fun out of this company yes but not the disease so wind yer neck in pal.

show me any trace of a profit and i will maybe change my mind

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 15:54 - 97 of 1754
minder made a small loss yes which I have more than made up for shorting it........and i guess your average holding is 3p.....aye right.

Aalso I closed out my short at 8p for a loss of the spread if memory serves me correctly.

currently short from 13.25....i thank you and goodnight

Treblewide - 23 Jul 2007 12:36 - 154 of 1747
more of the same......thank god i still do not own shares in this lot...will they ever
make a penny profit....looks doubtful......cannot even manage a small supply chain.


ect ect ect

with the last few posts:

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 09:16 - 1704 of 1754
you are a lunatic mick.....words fail me.

and ps i only post under treblewide on any financial web site....i know you cannot say the same......you have been calling this as a buy and nothing but a buy for about 7 years...it says it all really about your stock picking ability

i notice the downtrend ins now establishing itself....re-visit of the lows again by the looks of things

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 22:41 - 1712 of 1754
mick no i dont know what each product does...i dont think that is important...the numbers tell everything and even though you must spend hours on web sites searching for stuff that is not even related to MDW you fail to grasp the basics...they consistently lost money and now seem to be making some...my call to 3p was correct and i think if they had not got their shit together they could have gone under

i was not interested in them as a long play while they were loosing money depsite whatever rubbish you posted regarding piss sticks or whatever you bang on about.

and yes it was poor trading..having an avergae of 12 and averaging down to 6-7p while they were at 3p....is terrible trading...that cannot even be debated...the very fact you know so much about the products means you have fallen in love with this company......which is very dangerous when investing....

the numbers are the important things...i was right on 3p, the company is posting slightly better figures but we are in a bear market which has not bottomed yet so the price will fall further

you are a 1 trick pony that posts irrelevant links...dont bother to respond i can be bothered getting into a debate with you.....away and cut and paste some more flags

I have been chased from here and now ADVFN,has the boy got a problem?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 14:46 - 22345 of 22412


post 22342 is classic.....so mick advfn is not a good source when the consensus is sell?

begs the question why you spend so much time polluting it with your bull tripe?

question....so MDW share price has gone up, it has gone down etc etc...during all of that time has mick ever been able to find any subjectivity in his posting ie has he ever critisised anything?

i really think he may be getting paid by MDW...the whole thing is very bizzare.

mick i notice you referred to your threads as "promotion of Mediwatch"

can you confirm if you are getting financially rewarded by the company for this?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 23:55 - 22371 of 22412


664k overdrawn....takes a long time to pay back at 39k profit every 6 months.

drawn down overdraft has increased by 170k and they paid 33k to service that overdraft and made 39k profit...as i keep saying my local fish and chip shop make more money than this lot.

margins have been squeezed...psa watch now off the agenda in terms of updates....not 1 single reason to buy and yet you lot think this share price will go up??.....am mystified why it would increase? genuinely why is this comapny under valued?? i cannot see it and dont bang on about fairfax saying they are going to make x amount...they have never been near to getting it right

if i were a holder i would be selling now at 6p if i could and buying back in the 2-3p range which the chart is saying is now a certainty....i expecta full year loss

i told you all to sell at 14p and at 11p (it is all there in black and white) and that it was going to 3 pence..i got abuse mick called me an idiot and suggested it was going to 50p......still a sell and my short (which was posted in real time over the road) is nicely in profit.

toodle pip...will log back in when it gets to 3p....

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 10:49 - 22379 of 22412


still time to get out at 6p.....dont understand why you would not sell at 6p when they are obviously going to half in value...if you are a long term mdw bull you can buy twice as many shares at 3p and maybe possibly one day see a profit on your holding?



treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22412


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 14:48 - 22387 of 22412


so question...is psawatch is so great...why has there been no huge surge in revenue figures from UK and Europe on the back of it being sold?

the whole reason a lot of you hold this is psawatch...it has not made them any money in Europe which could be argued when taken as a whole is not much smaller than the USA.....this company is not going to change overnight with US approval...at bets it would be a selling opportunity for long term holders

i really think a lot of you have to ignore some of the nonsense ramping going on here...the company is draining cash and there margins are reducing (despite this wonder PSA machine they have for sale)

i really think the future looks bleak for mediwatch...if someone can put in concise terminology why MDW is a buy i am all ears....dont point me at fairfax report...they are a bunch of clowns as well...that interim report is shocking and i mean really poor.

costs out of control...margins squeezed, cash running out...no real revenue growth, does this sound like a growth company to you?

sell at 6p


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 15:50 - 22391 of 22412


god i have heard it all now...mick can you counter my points about declining margins and cash issues without nonsense posts about peopel having insider information...what a crock and what a clown.

so just so i have this straight in my head...when you put in effort to ramp these shares it is all great and you expect cuddles? (and if anyone disagrees you throw your toys out the pram liek an old woman)

when i put up a few posts to explain why i am short it is an organised attempt to get the share price down because i have insider inforamtion from the US?

were you the Iraqi information minister in a previous role? lol


treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:24 - 22409 of 22412


lol.....shares getting sold today at 5.75.....next stop 3p...

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22408 edit


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks




treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:29 - 22410 of 22412


i wonder what thier overdraft is limited to....1M?

if so they have 12 months of life left at current perfomance...how many of you hlders have considered the chances of them going bust?....i would not rule it out...would love to know how much further the banks will let them go into debt before they pull the plug

treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:37 - 22411 of 22412


seriously if i were a holder i would look at the interims and ask how much longer can they go on burning cash.......and with all the averaging down the bulls have done over the years i bet some are more exposed than they should be....good luck...think you might need it




ANYWAY

http://mediwatch.blogspot.com/

Here we go again................This thread is set up mainly for me to post information relating to MDW and the sector they belong to..........this is not for Treble with his ego problem to keep having personal digs at my investment strategy,pertaining to MDW!

oooohhh touchy....this is a public thread MAM is not just for your use my friend

I agree but your childish behavior and lack of research makes me think you are just trying to trash this thread.

"lack of research" lol i think it is beacuse i find it fairly easy to see through your nonsense and blatant ramping of this mob...that is why you are touchy...my research seems to be more accurate than yours as you have been calling it a buy from 14p but i have been saying sell........

so prey tell old bean who's research seems to be better?

I'm ignoring you now,so there! :-)

This is a bit old (2003) but It's new to me:

PSA Screening: It's A Must

by William J. Catalona, MD

http://www.drcatalona.com/quest/quest_fall03_4.asp

Apologies,have just read about MG.Will leave it at that for tonight............

Well that just takes the biscuit regarding Treble and his posts and especially the recent ones,after reading the rest of the MG thread and see that you posted there!

What a very sick and money generated person you are!

Yes,I am here to make money just like you but with MDW I have chosen to be a long term holder and invest my money into a company that could help mankind in the future......yes,you could say that is a blatant ramp but it's not and I hope my continual postings bears this out?

There is no real positive test or cure for prostate cancer which if left unattended will spread to every part of the body but if caught early the cancer part can be removed,it may come back or it may not!

This is why watchful waiting and increased testing is required to try and nip this horrible disease in the bud.MDW are offering a quicker and what will eventually be a cheaper alternative to the present day test with the same accuracy until a positive marker is invented.

I don't care if people buy shares in MDW but I want to help in what little way I can by showing my support whether it be by this thread or by buying more shares.

And yes as you keep asking,Treble I do have an emotional attachment too:

My Father was diagnosed with prostate cancer some six/eight years ago and maybe due to the fact that he and a few work colleagues 5 years prior were going to get their PSA levels checked and go for a drink afterwards bottled out and about six years ago my Father had to have his prostate removed to stop any cancer spreading!He is fine since then and now only requires a PSA test every six months instead of every three months which has been the case over the past years since his op.

PSAwatch may not be the answer but it may help in the gathering of data to enable a better diagnosis and prevent unneeded biopsies in the future if more tests can be carried out!

I'm prepared to back MDW but Treble just wants to have his fun,point score or even help his short....who knows what his motives are?

Treble,I think you have got out of me what you wanted and oh my average is 10p,now don't bother coming back to this thread as I find you as a person especially after recent posts a very sick and troubled individual and I have no time as far as continuing this thread on moneyam anymore if your childish posts continue or any posts bearing your name as a matter of fact!

Come on Banjo , you're late. You have something to post re Bard/Bardscan :-)

Yes,more positive news and most interesting that Bard are increasing the range of MDW products that they are selling!

mick...did you have a wee drink last night?

i find your post above incredibly vulgar.........

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Mediwatch Plc. said it has renewed its distribution deal for Bardscan II with Bard Ltd. -- a unit of Bard Inc. -- for a further three years.

The minimum value of this agreement to Mediwatch is 16 million pounds in revenue over three years, the medical diagnostic equiment maker added.

It said the distribution territory will include the UK, France, Holland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Spain, Portugal and Greece.

Bardscan II is a portable bladder scanner designed and manufactured by Mediwatch.

tf.TFN-Europe_newsdesk@thomsonreuters.com


surely not 16m?.........................

petralva,
A little typo methinks.

I like this bit from today:

"Philip Stimpson, Chief Executive of Mediwatch commented:


"Mediwatch is pleased that Bard has renewed this supply agreement. Mediwatch's ultrasound technology is now firmly established as the industry standard by leaders in the urological community.""

If you read the MG thread you can see why this technology is needed so urgently.

I hope this company succeeds.

Also from todays announcement:

"The agreement also allows for the distribution by Bard of other Mediwatch ultrasound products within the UK."

This a bonus for both parties and it will be interesting to see if Bard sell MDW's other products under MDW's name and colours!

Bard UK at the present time have the one ultrasound unit the Site~Rite 5 Ultrasound Systems which from the Bard website it says is specifically intended to assist in the safe placement of catheters.

The addition of the Multiscan develops Bards Urology range for the UK market.

"The Multiscan is designed for bladder volume scans,and measurements of the kidney and other organs, as well as visual assessment of urological conditions."

The other way of looking at this and I have touched on this before that I would much rather Bard didn't have the Bardscan on their books as it breaks up the connectivity of selling a complete suite of MDW products as a package or to add to at a later day.


Hmmm,Just thought on while typing and could this be the reason?:

"The Multiscan is a unique ultrasound scanner. Addition of the Mediwatch Portaflow or Bioscan PSAwatch reader enables the Multiscan to wirelessly integrate uroflow and PSA data by Bluetooth. Results may be saved to the database or sent to a Bluetooth desktop printer for a printout of a complete bladder or prostate report showing"

If we go back to 2003:

"Mediwatch plc ("Mediwatch"), the AIM quoted provider of medical and diagnostic
products and services for prostate related diseases, announces that it has
signed a supply agreement with CR Bard Ltd ("CR Bard"), the UK division of the
US company CR Bard Inc., one of the world's biggest suppliers of urological
equipment, replacing the original agreement, announced on 19 April 2002.

This new agreement is to run for an initial period of up to 5 years, commencing
in February 2003, and specifies a schedule for CR Bard's purchases of
Mediwatch's portable bladder scanner, branded as the Bardscan, over that period.
The agreement entitles CR Bard to supply the product into the UK, French,
Benelux and Scandinavian markets. If the minimum levels set out in the
purchasing schedule are achieved, the value of product sales under the agreement
would amount to #4 million over the 5 year period."

The above equates to roughly 800k per year if a # is equal to a sign

The new deal covers roughly the same areas ie The distribution territory will include the UK, France, Holland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Spain, Portugal and Greece and the minimum value of this agreement is 1.6 million in revenue to Mediwatch over the three year period which equates to a minimum of roughly 500k per year.

So,less expected sales possibly via Bard but the key word could be 'minimum' here!The fact that these areas are also covered by other distributors unlike 2003 would obviously have an effect on Bard sales!

Edit-For example AVF (France) covers nearly the whole MDW range with five or six pages to scroll through below:

http://www.avf-perimedical.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=mediwatch


and EBNeuro offering most of the main equipment too (lost a bit in translation)

http://translate.google.com/translate?sourceid=navclient&hl=en&u=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2eebneuro%2ebiz%2fUroProdottiUrodinamica%2easp

or even Greece for that matter (forgot you have to click on products then urology)

http://www.innova.gr/en/

This is the Urology section of Bard UK,just for the record:

http://www.barduk.com/main/product.asp?sectionTypeID=2&sectionID=5

I'm just trying to get to grips with todays announcement and yes you could say it's another distributor under the belt or a renewal of a contract should I say and that holds water.I'm not even trying to put a negative or positive spin on todays news but find the detail curious more than anything.

Why do MDW need Bard?

Regarding Bard and the UK I can understand MDW wanting them as the main UK distributor offering the whole range of MDW products under the MDW brand but this is not the case and that's why I said it will be interesting to see if the rest of the MDW ultrasound range is branded MDW or Bard!

Mediwatch are probably as well known in the UK within the medical profession as Bard are with MDW offering a much wider range in this specific field!

Todays announcement relating to the UK,appears to me to read as though the whole ultrasound section is thrown in! Any sales are good sales though whatever you are selling but obviously an MDW sale would gain more for MDW than a Bard sale would but that depends on the deal I suppose,have MDW got more out of this new deal per Bard sale?Is the deal linked to the official launch of PSAwatch in the UK and the Multiscan in someway?

Lots of question and I think I'm just maybe reading too much into what is essentially good news............I think-lolz
